Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the taxonomic hierarchy is a system used to classify and organize living organisms into groups based on shared characteristics.
The hierarchy ranges from broad categories to more specific ones, helping to identify and categorize organisms systematically.
The broadest category in the taxonomic hierarchy is 'Kingdom', which includes the largest number of organisms with the most general characteristics.
Following 'Kingdom', the hierarchy becomes more specific: 'Phylum', 'Class', 'Order', 'Family', 'Genus', and finally 'Species', which is the most specific category.
The correct order of the taxonomic hierarchy from broadest to most specific is: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
